Has anyone here had any success growing vegetables in baskets?If so, what were your results?

I did some cracking Tumbling Toms last year. Iwish I had bought more as OH ate them as soon as they were ripe.  Ive got some Sweet Million to try this year and will do 4 baskets instead of 2. Im also putting strawberries in baskets this year too

I am using baskets for the first time this year, mainly for tomatoes but I'm open to suggestions too!  If you are looking for bargain baskets you won't do much worse than Poundland where they cost, wait for it, £1 each!  Only problem is they are smaller than I would have liked but considering the price I'm not complaining.

I've grown tomatoes successfully in baskets also herbs .Once did one with just parsley - made a wonderful green globe.

Best to get as large a basket as you can as they dry out so fast - all to do with ratio of surface area to volume

Am trying tumbling toms in hanging baskets and hanging bags this year

Can someone who's already done it tell me how many plants of TT they used to what size of basket?

[peapod]

Didnt measure the basket TBH Stripey,but im sure they are 12", one plant in each.

I am going to have a go with toms this year, I am trying to convince my 11 year old that they are not evil red balls of puke 

Mind you mummy doesnt eat them so its not an easy task

Like others, we did Tumbling Toms last year in hanging baskets and a two-tier pedestal, and they did extremely well. Doing Balconi Yellow this year. I did 3 plants to a 14" basket, and 2 to a smaller one.

I'm doing Tumbling Toms in two of mine and trying dwarf french beans and strawberries in the others.............dunno how the last two will work out but hey ho nothing ventured and all that.

Might even stretch to dwarf peas too
